Description
The APMG PPP Certification Program is an innovation of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) and part funded by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) with a shared vision of enhancing PPP performance globally. CP3P is the definitive credential to demonstrate to your peers that your abilities are aligned with international PPP good practice.
PPPs are one way to procure infrastructure and services. As explained later in the Public Private Partnerships Foundation course, the PPP approach may provide significant benefits if and when a number of conditions are met. As PPPs are useful in procuring both infrastructure and services, this course is especially focused on better use of PPPs as a tool to deliver new or upgraded infrastructure. In this way, the greatest possible value from this procurement option can be extracted in order to help countries to fill the infrastructure gap by accessing more private capital and expertise in an efficient and programmatic manner; this is especially true for Emerging Market and Developing Economy (EMDE) countries.
The main objectives of the Public Private Partnerships Foundation course is to introduce the PPP concept as an option to procure and manage infrastructure; to scope the term for the purpose of the PPP Guide, and to explain its main characteristics. The PPP Foundation course also introduces those aspects of PPPs that will be explained further in the rest of the PPP educational programs. These include the relevance and features of a proper PPP framework and the entire PPP process cycle, including a description of each of the phases that constitutes the process from a practical perspective
The PPP Certification Program Guide, referred to as the PPP Guide, was written by PPP practitioners. It comprises best practices from many countries and aims to bring a consistency of terms used in PPPs and to increase skills and capacity for the delivery of PPPs. Please see a summary of the PPP Guide below:

The Public Private Partnership Foundation Course and Examination are based on Chapter 1, Appendix A and the Glossary of the PPP Guide.

SENG SOPHEARATH –
I like the way the trainer has explained about the PPP foundation. The explanation was clear and detailed.
Hai Marady –
The trainer and participants are friendly, sharing session is valuable, I learned a lot from them. A recommendation would be trainer can bring more existing PPP to share with the class.
Chheav Vanthea –
Clear and detailed explanation, I can understand clearly of PPP Process between the government and the private sector. I would recommend the trainer ask more questions in the next session.
Selaroth Song –
Clear explanation from the trainer. I would recommend the trainer provide more actual examples and have a group discussion in class.
Laiheng POM –
The way the trainer shares his experience in the courses is great. I hope the trainer could provide an online test for each individual trainee.
Madeleine Chan –
The material is easy for me to understand. I wish everyone are a bit more interactive because it would contribute to a better learning environment. Regardless, I got what I need from the course.
Peter Ofori-Asumadu –
The content, the teaching approach, the interactive nature and the calmness of the trainer are what I like most about the course. I think a little bit of an increase in time for the course will be better. Great course! Many technocrats should be trained at least on the foundation course!
Manuel Garcia –
The explanation is clear and concise. everything is OK! Good course :)
dare williams adedamola –
I really liked the teaching of the tutor. I would prefer to have a physical class with the tutor and not virtual. Good course and I will like to take more training on PPP!
David Klotey Collison –
The facilitator was excellent in his delivery and the course has been extremely helpful in equipping positively for my work. It will be good if a tailored one is organised for decision makers such as the political heads of the government institutions who do not need much technicalities.
Kwabena Afrifa –
Training was fluid – well built up onto the end; in respect to understanding and practicality. The course must devote more time to explain the financial arrangement on the PPPs; as concepts can be a bit confusing. Good participation and discussions!
Nana Karikari –
The experience shared by participants was very helpful in understanding practically how things work.
The Presenter explained in practical terms how things work out with detailed examples and diagrams which helps to imagine it.
If I could change something about the course, it would be the timeframe of 4 hours for a session, but then considering the course content there is not much that can be done about it.
Tom Bongay –
Discussion session and experiences shared from colleagues in the region were great. More discussions are needed!
Mukhtar Abdulkarim –
The class was very interactive with real life examples provided. We need more time to digest all the information and additional time to properly prepare for the exams.
